Since its inception as a non-profit in Los Angeles in 1997 by Russian émigré musicians Eduard and Laura Schmieder, with the blessing and support of the late great violinist Lord Yehudi Menuhin, iPalpiti has been supporting, promoting and developing the careers of exceptional, young professional classical musicians. Local outreach programs include Student Coalition for the Arts and Mentor Program, this season 300+ local schools’ 5-12th graders.
